Study Notes
Interview Techniques
Types of Interviews
- Structured Interviews: Pre-determined questions, often used for quantitative data collection
- Semi-structured Interviews: Some pre-determined questions, with room for flexibility and exploration
- Unstructured Interviews: No pre-determined questions, allowing for open-ended discussion
Effective Interviewing Skills
- Active Listening: Maintain eye contact, take notes, and ask follow-up questions
- Open-Ended Questions: Encourage detailed responses, avoid leading questions
- Non-Verbal Cues: Be aware of body language, tone, and facial expressions
- Avoid Bias: Remain neutral, avoid leading questions, and don't interrupt
Common Interview Questions
- Behavioral Questions: Past experiences and behaviors, e.g., "Tell me about a time when..."
- Situational Questions: Hypothetical scenarios, e.g., "What would you do if..."
- Probing Questions: Clarify or gather more information, e.g., "Can you elaborate on that?"
Search Techniques
Types of Search Techniques
- Systematic Search: Comprehensive, systematic approach to searching literature
- Snowball Search: Identify key studies, then search for related studies
- Grey Literature Search: Include non-peer-reviewed sources, such as reports and theses
Effective Search Strategies
- Use Specific Keywords: Identify relevant terms and synonyms
- Use Boolean Operators: Combine search terms using AND, OR, and NOT
- Use Truncation: Use * or ? to capture variations of search terms
- Use Search Filters: Limit results by date, study type, or language
Search Tools and Resources
- Databases: Academic databases, such as PubMed or Scopus
- Search Engines: General search engines, such as Google or Bing
- Libraries and Archives: Physical and digital repositories of information
- Expert Opinion: Consult with experts in the field or relevant organizations
